I took a much needed break from the series. Now I'm back.
Jazz is special. Not only was this the first (and one of only two) pieces drawn in another state but it's also the first in the series to be colored (at least in part) on my new laptop.
This time, I'll get my evil criticisms out of the way first:
The most noticeable problem is that his head's too large . His upper torso could also be a little broader.
The next major thing I think is his left knee. The outer armour is thick, but there should be a visible area where all the worky bits from his knee go inside the armour. Hmm...not sure how I can describe that better =/.
Now that that's out of the way, I think this is the best coloured Transformer you've done! Your colouring style really lends itself to the shininess of Jazz. You've also used some great highlighting (most noticeable on his right leg) to really bring out a feeling of sleekness which wouldn't be visible in the pencilled art alone . And of course, the glowy lights are a really nice touch !
I loved the fact that Jazz broke into random bouts of break dancing during his transformation sequences, that was freakin awesome Tis a shame that they killed him off T_T

This pic will show you what I mean

Okay, maybe not. Jazz was cool, though.
